Don’t bother to tell me what you think they thought you thought.
Tell me what the Postal Inspector JR said.
Did he or did he not say it was sent to Ames before being routed to Ft. Detrick.
Did he or did he not say Iowa (USDA) had it.
And then after your answer, I’ll call him at the number he provided you on his card for any follow-up questions.
As for why Texas would send it, of course there was a reason. Knudson asked for it. The vet had noted its special virulence at the time with 30 cows being fine in the morning and then dead later that day.
When shipped, two vials were sent. There would be no cause to send it to one and also to the other. The two vials were in the same package.
But not getting back to the question, did Postal Inspector JR say that (1) it was routed through Iowa, and (2) that Iowa had it.
I meant “now getting back to the question”.
And I want you state precisely you recall and understand he said. Don’t add any gloss. Just tell me the words you believe he spoke.
He said it went through Iowa.
